Mercedes bought 2 1/2 pounds of blueberries and her son ate 1/4 the blueberries how many pounds of blueberries Are left?

1 answer:

8 0

So all you do is you divide 2 1/2 by .25 and you get 10 then you know one fourth or 25% of that package is 10 berries so the rest or 30% left over is 30 berries.

Answer:

0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent from other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A multiple-choice examination has 15 questions, each with five answers, only one of which is correct.

This means that $n = 15, p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

What is the probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly?

$P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{15,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 11) = C_{15,11}.(0.2)^{11}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.000011$

$P(X = 12) = C_{15,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{3} \cong 0$

$P(X = 13) = C_{15,13}.(0.2)^{13}.(0.8)^{2} \cong 0$

$P(X = 14) = C_{15,14}.(0.2)^{14}.(0.8)^{1} \cong 0$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.2)^{15}.(0.8)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) = 0.0001 + 0.000011 = 0.000111$

0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly

Which expressions are equivalent?

trapecia [35]

Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent

Further explanation:

We have to evaluate each expression to evaluate if the expressions are equivalent or not.

So,

$3(a-b)\\Distributing\ 3\ in\ bracket\\3.a-3.b\\=3a-3b$

As we can see that 3(a-b) results in 3a-3b so these are equivalent

$2a(2+b)\\Distributing\ 2a\\2a.2+2a.b\\=4a+2ab$

As we can see that 2a(2+b) doesn't result in 4ab so these are not equivalent

Hence,

Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent

Since it is a right angle you would subtract 57 from 90 because both angles added together are 90°. 90-57= 33°
